A new book by Juan Brenner that explores the people and culture of the Guatemalan Highlands. Genesis is the culmination of over five years' work, in which Brenner documented the Highland area and people of his home country. With a focus on youth culture in the region, Brenner captures a new generation of Guatemalans, the first to establish an intelligible dialogue with their contemporaries around the world. 

Genesis is an extensive study of Highland society, exploring the history, nuance, and complexity of everyday life. With photography that captures a territory that is in the midst of great change and a set intention to document the “process of becoming".

Texts include an essay by Julio Serrano, a conversation between Juan Brenner and Gem Fletcher and a full index of image plates and descriptions.
